I resemble that remark ! I love my iPhone 4, and have an iPhone 5 on order. I think both OS's are excellent, and have been an iPhone owner since 2007, iPod owner since 2004. That being said, if ALL tablets were as pricey as iPads, I would have never gotten a tablet. The reason I finally cracked, and bought a tablet, was because I loved the Kindle Fire, loved what I was able to do with it, and finally, loved that I could do all of that at a reasonable price. Then, I heard the specs of the Nexus 7, and what they give you for $250, is just ridiculous (sold my Kindle Fire). The Nexus 7 is a freaking powerhouse, and I love the openness of Google's OS's. So yes, I own both products, and I'm very happy with both. OK, back to my brain dead life, lol.

That being said, today's announcement of the iPad mini is very UNDERwhelming, the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD blow this thing away.

And let the flame war commence...

Obviously I'm anti A**le, it's a swear word in my house. I have never nor will I ever buy into the A**le brand, personally I don't see the attraction to A**le products unless your an A**le fanboy.Whether anti A**le or not, it's a fail IMHO and I can only see A**le fanboy's buying this, I don't see it as competition to the Nexus 7 as I don't see the Kindle Fire HD as competition unless you buy into or are already bought into the whole Amazon or iTunes ecosystems respectively.

And a word to the wise for all Apple fans frequenting an Android forum, while as a Mod I do not condone name calling you have to realise that Android fans have been slated by A**le fans for years. The forum isn't the norm because it's unusual for Android fans to come into contact with A**le fans on the same forum, this will obviously result in disagreements and arguments. It's common place in many walks of life for followers of opposing sides to bicker, name call and even fight in what they believe in whether it be religion, sport or something else. When people feel passionate they react, it's life.

Be warned though I am an Android fan and will always fall on the side of the droid but I will not tolerate malicious behaviour or trolling on either side so please keep this to a dull roar.
